The Barrister's Bride Giveaways for May 2022

After releasing Schemes of Felicity novella as part of the Skirmish & Scandal series last year, author Suzan Lauder (Alias Thomas Bennet, Letter From Ramsgate, A Most Handsome Gentleman and The Mist of Her Memory) is back again with her fifth full-length Pride and Prejudice novel. As depicted on the cover of The Barrister's Bride, the plot features two suitors vying for Elizabeth Bennet's attention and they are none other than the Darcy brothers. Although the premise is quite similar with another variation called The Darcy Brothers, there are significant differences between the two.

In this story, George Darcy is the master of Pemberley with Fitzwilliam as his younger brother. Since second sons do not automatically inherit land and wealth from the father, he is obliged to make his way in the world by becoming a barrister in London with assistance from his late uncle and benefactor. The same uncle has even arranged a marriage between him and the daughter of his good friend. But who is the intended wife? Prior to Mr Bennet's death, Elizabeth's father had chosen a suitable husband for his favourite daughter They cannot form any attachment even though they are initially attracted to each other upon first meeting in Meryton. So when the charming George enters the picture, Elizabeth totally fell for the elder brother. After learning about her father's promise, will she go through with it and become the barrister's bride?

If the blurb intrigues you, then you'll be delighted to know that the author is offering nuggets of information in guest posts, character interwiew as well as some amusing excerpts in the one-week blog tour (with a short break on weekends). Besides this her publisher Meryton Press is donating six copies of The Barrister's Bride in e-book format and an additional two e-books for the cover reveal post. Not to be left out is Suzan who will be gifting a reticule filled with an embroidered hankerchief, a fan and an autographed paperback of The Barrister's Bride.

Alias Thomas Bennet Blog Tour: Excerpt and Giveaway

Today I have a special treat for you, dear readers. As you know, debut novelist Suzan Lauder is going on a blog tour to promote her new book titled Alias Thomas Bennet and I'm delighted that she has agreed to drop by and provide an excerpt from her novel. Over to you, Suzan. I'm honoured to have the opportunity to guest blog here today, since this is an impressive and comprehensive blog. I think it may become my go-to-first blog, since it chronicles what's going on everywhere else in the Austen-related internet world, so you know where to look next! Today, I'm going to provide an excerpt from my book, Alias Thomas Bennet . As the title implies, this book has a new Mr. Bennet. The story explores what would happen in Pride and Prejudice if Mr. Bennet were changed from his character in canon, removing key flaws that influence his family and the events in Pride and Prejudice . This is one of those "butterfly flaps its wings" scenarios, where a small chan...

The Darcy Legacy Blog Tour: Guest Post, Excerpt + Giveaway

The weekend is upon us and what better way to relax and enjoy Joana Starnes's newest release. If you have not read The Darcy Legacy yet, you are in for a treat as Joana has embarked on a virtual tour to introduce this Pride and Prejudice variation. This is her maiden visit to My Love for Jane Austen so let's give a warm welcome to her. Don't miss the chance to win one of the many prizes sponsored by the author. Guest Post Thanks, Lúthien84, for having me as your guest today, on the blog tour for my newest book, The Darcy Legacy . I have often wondered how Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's courtship would have evolved, were it not for that ill-judged and so ungentlemanlike ' She is tolerable, I suppose... ' This is an angle I explored in The Darcy Legacy . What if their acquaintance did not start on the wrong foot? What if Mr Darcy did not hurt Elizabeth's feelings and her pride at the Meryton assembly — and if he did blunder, it was in a way that she co...

Jessica Evans is here to delight us with a guest post on the origin and inspiration for penning her debut novel. Guest Post Mr. Darcy in tights?!? While this image may have some reaching for their smelling salts, for others, it may be hard to envision their favourite literary heartthrob sporting a dance belt and leotard. Whatever your persuasion, brace yourself because I've set The Muse , my modernised version of Pride and Prejudice , in a professional ballet company. In this story, Jane and Lizzy are dancers in the corps de ballet , or chorus, of Ballet Theater of New York, Charles Bingley is the company Assistant Artistic Director, and Mr. Darcy is a former dancer turned chor...

Marie Croft visiting with a guest post for Sun-Kissed: effusions of summer , author Regina Jeffers has stopped by today to tell you about her latest Pride and Prejudice mystery, The Prosecution of Mr. Darcy's Cousin . Be sure to read her research into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and an excerpt from the novel. On top of that there is also a giveaway to go along with the post. I'll hand it over to Regina now. Guest Post In my latest release, The Prosecution of Mr. Darcy's Cousin: A Pride and Prejudice Mystery , Darcy's cousin Major General Fitzwilliam (the former Colonel Fitzwilliam from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice ) suffers from what we would now call "PTSD". During the Regency there was no such distinction. The most one might consider as a diagnosis for the effects of many years in war was "melancholia". Yet, melancholia was also the diagnosis for the most s...

Excerpt Later, darkness filled the sky like spilled ink, the air grew chilly, and 'twas time to leave. I drew my cloak about me and felt my slipper slide slightly on the icy surface of the iron step as I entered our carriage. I saw my breath on the air in the tiny light from the lamps outside. Otherwise, it was all darkness, and I felt along the frozen leather seat with my gloved hand before sitting on it. Mr Darcy immediately began bundling my legs with a further blanket and then sat beside me, his arm wrapped about me. "I am sorry about this cold, Elizabeth. We should have de...
